The easiest way to build a unit for energy is to remember that
'work' is energy, and
Work = (force) x (distance).
So energy is (unit of force) x (unit of distance)
[Energy] = (Newton) (meter) .
'Newton' itself is a combination of base units, so
energy is really
(kilogram-meter/sec²) (meter)
= kilogram-meter² / sec² .
That unit is so complicated that it's been given a special,
shorter name:
Joule .
It doesn't matter what kind of energy you're talking about.
Kinetic, potential, nuclear, electromagnetic, food, chemical,
muscle, wind, solar, steam ... they all boil down to Joules.
And if you generate, use, transfer, or consume 1 Joule of
energy every second, then we say that the 'power' is '1 watt'.
Answer:
The waves will increase in frequency
Explanation:
As the young girl moves her hand back and forth faster, it will be observed that number of back and forth motions increase every second. Also the distance between crest and trough of the wave (wavelength) will be reduced as she moves her hand back and forth faster.
Frequency = number of turns (moves) per second
The waves will increase in frequency since there will be more number of back and forth motions in every second.
Also,
The distance between crest and trough will be reduced, which implies that there will be decrease in waves wavelength.
This can also be verified using wave equation;
V = Fλ
At constant velocity,
F ∝ ¹/λ
Thus, decrease in wavelength will cause increase in frequency of the waves.
The right answer is : The waves will increase in frequency
Answer:
The vector sum of all forces acting on it is zero, its at equilibrium.
Explanation:
The bag of marbles hanging on a spring scale applies its weight downwards, which was counterbalanced by the reaction from the spring scale (obeying the Newton's third law of motion). And since no external forces are applied to the system, thus the equilibrium of the system.
If the weight of the bag is greater than the reaction from the spring scale, the scale breaks and the system would not be balanced.
